Oh sweet sweet Briella.  She was such a good sleeper, beautiful skin, loooooonnnnggg eyelashes, and a beautiful family.  Her big sister is probably the best behaved 2 year old ever!  She was so sweet.  I really wanted to keep them both :)  Enjoy!

Sweet little Bennett is so lucky to have such a great family.  His big brother is absolutely adorable and his parents are just so nice :)  I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them!  Bennett is an alert little guy!  He wants to be awake and look at my light and take everything in around him :)  Reminds me of my older daughter.  Enjoy!

This year has flown by!  Not only have I had the opportunity to photograph little Miss Harbor from when her mama was pregnant with her to her birth to all her first year photos, but I've had the honor of being a part of her life as well.  My family has been so blessed to have her and her parents in our life.  Her mama is my baby sister, her daddy has been considered family for so much longer than they have even been married.  And her cousins and uncle and I enjoy spending 2 or more days a week with her :)  She's constantly bringing smiles to our faces and we can't wait to continue watching her grow :)  Enjoy some photos from her 1 year session and some progressions through the first year!

Oh sweet little Chiara was so good to me :)  She slept like a little rockstar, had amazing skin, and posed so well <3  I love the darker colors her mama chose--the contrast between the dark brown and her skin is such a beautiful combination.  Enjoy!
